One of the most popular and, perhaps, one of the most
controversial racers on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit is Kevin
Harvick and the NASCAR superstar will be appearing at the
Motorsports 2009 Race Car & Trade Show at the Atlantic City, NJ
Convention Center. The show runs for two days, January 16-17th,
and Harvick, driver of the Shell/Pennzoil sponsored Richard
Childress owned Chevy, will be meeting fans and signing
autographs on Friday, January 16th.
The 33 year old (celebrating his birthday on December 8th)
finished fourth in the Sprint Cup Chase this season and enjoyed
a good season with seven top 5s and 19 top 10s. He has 11 career
victories including the 2007 Daytona 500.
Kevin and his wife Delana operate their own Nationwide and
Camping World Truck Series teams. During the 2008 season Ron
Hornaday drove their No. 33 Chevy truck to six wins and he was
just nosed out for the title by Johnny Benson. The Nationwide
entry, with a variety of drivers, had 22 starts earning one pole
but no wins.
Harvick will be back with Richard Childress in 2009 as the
Sprint Cup season kicks off at Daytona in February. He and
Delana will again field entries in the Nationwide and Camping
World Truck Series.
Harvick joins other NASCAR standouts such as Joey Logano and
Johnny Benson at Motorsports 2009. NASCAR Vice President of
Corporate Communications Jim Hunter will kick off the show on
Friday, January 16th as the keynote speaker followed by a
question and answer session.
Just recently added to the impressive list of racers taking
part in the show is Chris Jones of Forest, Virginia. He is the
driver of the LCS Motorsports #87 Camping World Series Truck.
Jones is looking to run the full Camping World Truck Series
schedule pending sponsorship. He will be at the show both days
and will be signing autographs at four different times during
the weekend.
More than 250 race vehicles representing just about all
segments of motorsports will be on display with more than 400
exhibitors offering just about everything imaginable in
motorsports.
Limited exhibitor space is still available for the show and
details on displaying can be had by telephoning Tim Hogue at
609.888.3618.
On the same dates as the Motorsports 2009 show is taking
place at the Atlantic City, NJ Convention Center the Gambler’s
Classic Indoor Auto racing events will be taking place at night
at the nearby Boardwalk Hall. The Three Quarter Midgets/600cc
Micros will headline both nights along with Slingshot racers and
Champ Karts.
The two big events offer a great weekend of motorsports in
Atlantic City.
Information on discount lodging is available at
www.aarn.com along with information on the schedule of
activities for both events and ticket information.
